Default My new toy

Not quite the 3 door cosworth my brother owns, but getting rare all the same, here is my XR4i. I bought it last week and we have spent today cleaning it up. Sensible mods already done, it runs unleaded, the next thing to do is the cossie bumper I think.

If it wasn't running unleaded I would probably try and source the 24v 2.9, I may still do so in the future.

It has no rust at all, roller rockers, full stainless exhaust, unleaded heads, excellent interior, konis all round, full history, the list goes on, last owner 10 years and I gave him a grand.

Must have trod in something last week, because I am not normally this lucky. All my luck is in the car because my bike is being a bu***R.

Lot of motor and a lot of fun for a grand! Looks a bit of a minter too

I know you said you may fit a cossie front bumper but I'd keep the 4i one on as it suits the look of the car, just my opinion tho m8, sure it'll look sweet with either or

ps luvin the silver/red paint, really sets it off!

it is a clean car as i spent half the day cleaning it for him, even the normal rust areas are clear, some people can fall in sh*t and come out smelling of roses, £1000 was a bargain.

Thanks for the replies guys, is the boat anchor really that bad? Will the 24v match up to my exhausts?

The cossie bumper looks good on the white one.....

Topboss will charge you ££££££££££££££££££££££s, can be 24v for about £500 or less
